Freedom from DebtCoalition

WHO WE ARE

The Freedom from Debt Coalition (FDC) is leading the longest-running debt campaign in the world. As the world's oldest debt-watch monitor and as the only coalition in the world working on the Philippines' debt problem, FDC is globally recognized as an authoritative organization on debt issues, generating solidarity and support from various NGOs, churches and solidarity networks around the world. As the longest-running coalition in the Asia Pacific, FDC is likewise recognized as a symbolic leader of Asian campaigners. FDC's leadership on the transnational scene has made it an important player in forming and leading the current transnational efforts to combat the blight that onerous debt casts on underdeveloped and developing societies--an issue that has global causes and that cannot be sufficiently addressed at the local level.
